Mild fever but freezing hands: Raynaud's phenomenon occurs when cold, emotional stress, or other exposure causes small arteries in the body to tighten, decreasing blood supply to those areas. It is most common in women. People usually get it in their fingers and toes, but it can also affect the nose, lips, or earlobes. It is known for causing "red, white, and blue" skin discolorations, as the blood vessels narrow and then dilate. Staying warm, decreasing stress, and other lifestyle changes usually clear it up. Raynaud's is more serious when caused by a connective tissue disease such as s Rheumatic fever symptoms may vary. Some people may have several symptoms, while others experience only a few. The symptoms may also change during the course of the disease. The onset of rheumatic fever usually occurs about two to four weeks after a strep throat infection. Rheumatic fever signs and symptoms — which result from inflammation in the heart, joints, skin or central nervous system — may include: cleroderma, lupus, or Sjögren's syndrome. 1.
